Typically the beginning of January is very, very, very snowy here where I live, but this year we only have a little . . . and did not have any snow in December! So, whether you live where you have a lot of snow, a little snow, or no snow at all, the craft I found on Pinterest this morning is one you could enjoy making with your grandchildren! All you need is chenille wire, beads and ribbon. Pretty simple! Follow these steps . . .
- Take your chenille wire, fold in half and cut.
- Take three pieces, twist the middles together.
- Spread out the chenille wire ends.
- Have your grandchildren string beads on each "arm" of your snowflakes.
- Twist the ends to keep the beads in place.
- Tie a ribbon loop around the bead closest to the end on one "arm" of your snowflake.
- Voila! Finished!
Enjoy making snowflakes - your grandchildren could give them to their teachers, the secretary at school or church, their pastor, their neighbors or take them to visit a shut-in and leave a pretty snowflake hanging in their window!
What might you encourage your grandchildren to do with the snowflakes they make?
